2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia

Stereotypes are around for a reason.
To enable baseless, lazy criticism.
I’m all for that.

@barbarian I wouldn't put Tupou anywhere near a test team

no way does he deserve another Wallabies jersey after his last few "performances"

But the Lions forwards should eat the Aussies for breakfast. If they get the selections right
tighties yes probably, but the Wallabies will send out a cracking loose forward trio.
Their loosies have good balance just need a couple more pieces in the pack to help with some of the grunt work to ensure their loosies aren’t overworking.
@MajorRage i think there is enough quality in the backs for the Lions. Will just be about getting the combinations right.
-
Will all depend on how Farrell wants to play.
If it's Ireland 2.0 then he needs to pick lots of Irish players.
If he's been watching France then he needs to pick the right combinations.
I'd go for the latter.

In all seriousness though, England has some quality players,
Their 6/7/8 is arguably the best unit of the 4 nations and I'd pick on that basis too.

Now the Six Nations tournament has finished, I thought I'd have a go at naming a Test line-up for the British and Irish Lions.

Four Kiwis and a Saffa in the starting backline.
Kelleher ahead of Sheahan ?
-
-
I would have Sheahan Van Der Flier, Jac Roberts, Jones and Kinghorn in starting lineup and Doris, Jordan and Ryan on bench. Kelleher Murray Darge Mitchell and Daly not in my 37. But horses for courses I guess. Ribbans could be a bolter along with Tom Jordan.

I think this one is a bit British for me to understand.
When someone gets a moment an explanation would be appreciated.

My sister lives out in the sticks a few miles from Longleat and you can sometimes her the fuckers coughing in the middle of the night. Not very reassuring.

She needs an Andy McDonald. As Colin Meads said “It would be a toss-up as to whose side I’d rather have been on.”

Lions teams are always strongest when there’s real diversity within the ranks. With that in mind I hope there’s a fair smattering of
BoksScots in thereThen you should be overjoyed the Scots have been very smattered this season..
